CAPPELETTIS

Andreas and Lorena Cappeletti came from Argentina to begin their American dream. They worked their way from laboring locally while raising their 3 children. Lorena ran and managed Scaldonis, a visionary restaurant in St. George. When Scaldonis closed, Lorena decided to fill the void and opened up her place with the help of her husband, son and daughter. Cappelettis is a true, from the heart experience in culinary delights.


BENJA’S THAI GARDEN

It is true that you can find authentic thai food and fresh sushi in the desert of Southern Utah. Owned and ran by the visionary Benja Peterson. Benja studies balance, yin and yang, light and dark, color and contrast, the human anatomy of taste buds, and she perfects the dishes she serves in her restaurants. For her, good food requires a blend of sweet, salty, bitter, astringent, and pungent. She said: “Food should be this for people:  Eat. Taste. Heal.” “It is an art, really,” she says “To know Thai cooking is to know balance and energy and to realize that preparing food is a spiritual and all-giving experience.”

XETAVA BAR & GRILL

Two dining options located at opposite ends of the same building, Xetava is locally owned, and unlike anywhere you’ve ever been. Designed to be a respite from the bustle of modern life, the building is nestled under the giant red cliffs of Ivins, surrounded by the Kayenta Art Village and Center for the Arts. Allow yourself to be mesmerized by the views while you choose between our new Bar & Kitchen area, or the original Restaurant, each with its own food and drink menus.
